Having worked with Collette for over two years now, my 16 year old son loves her teaching style-- she is his favorite teacher he's ever had. She has much patience, knowledge and is overall a very kind and compassionate teacher. She really cares about her students progress and is also a collaborator as she also seeks their input on pieces they select together, areas for improvement and their overall comfort level with new material.

Excellent teacher. Takes her time with me, explaining things that I can understand. Works with the basics of piano and moves along with your pace. Highly recommend Lee’s Studio (Amber)
